WINE DESCRIPTION

Michele Chiarlo Barbaresco Asili is a premium red wine produced by the renowned Italian winemaker Michele Chiarlo. This wine comes from the Barbaresco appellation, which is known for producing some of the finest Nebbiolo grapes in the world. The grapes for this wine are sourced from the Asili vineyard, one of the best Crus for Nebbiolo in Piedmont. The wine is only produced in the best vintages and is thus limited. The winemaking process involves traditional techniques, including long maceration and aging in oak barrels for ca. 18 months and overall aging for at least 2 years, resulting in a wine with a complex and elegant flavor profile.
